Rainbow Tulle Wreath

This was so fun!!


So you start with a foam wreath and your rolls of Tulle.
I wrapped it in black tulle to cover the green color.
Cut tool pieces in 13 inch pieces or tie one around and see how long or short you want it and use that as a guide.
Tie around wreath in the same pattern over and over and you are done!











I did trim the sides because some where longer than others and then crunch pieces to give it the shape in the end.

Rainbow Ballon Party Poof




You need balloons
I picked the tied dye ones


Get pins and sticks from a floral department.


Get a styrofoam ball from a floral department.


Start with one or two balloons and start pinning around ball.










Find any vase or bucket to display it in. Put glue on tip of stick after you are done to keep it sturdy and put something in its holder that will keep it in place such as the foam pieces used for floral arrangements. Tie some ribbon and there you have it.



Looks very unique and pretty.
